first of all there's no need for a new thread, and pokemon platinum brings more stuff than 8 new pokemon,battle frontier along with battle tower inside,new online modes(way more....Online plaza COFF! minigames coff!),another extra world and the unlocked new moon island...wait evrything is explained in the web page dont be lazy and look for yourself, but anyway, it's kinda disappointing that they added more stuff on this version as it shoould've been on the diamond and pearl versions and im talking alot of new stuff that should've been there G THANKS ALOT NINTENDO.
